In a field of flowers

In the morning light, flowers bloom,

The morning dew glimmers beneath the sunlight

Each petal greets the morning sun,

Soft whispers in the gentle breeze.

The meadow glows as day’s begun.

The beauty in each flower’s face.

A peaceful, colorful embrace.

Slowly opening, revealing to the world.

Dancing in the morning light.

A world of wonder.

Die Sonne geht auf,
und der Morgentau enthüllt seine Magie.
Glitzernde Tautropfen
schmücken die Erde mit den Juwelen der Natur.
Ein Moment der Reinheit und Verjüngung.
Halten Sie inne, besinnen Sie sich,
und schätzen Sie die Schönheit der Welt.

Ich liebe den frühen Morgentau auf den Blumen und Feldern, die mein Zuhause umgeben. Berührt von den ersten Sonnenstrahlen, glänzen sie so hell und schaffen eine magische Atmosphäre.

Like a lotus flower
trusting the light.
Pristine petals rise
from murky waters.

Opening with the rising of the sun 
and closing as night falls. 

Every morning is a new beginning.
Soft and peaceful.

Breaking through the water's edge
the beauty is inspiring.
My heart is following the sun.
A symbol of beauty, purity and enlightment.
I love the lotus flower.

The ancient Greeks had two words for love: “eros” to describe sexual attraction and “philia” to capture the feeling of a person being an immensely close soulmate which is beautiful, because friends are important. Friendships can be as deep as being in love. It’s always been second nature to me to show my love and appreciation for those related or not, through words. Maybe we have to tell our friends, family and partners more often “I love you”.

Inspired by my travels to Polynesia.

In Asia flowers have a deeper meaning, and the Frangipani flower is considered as an essence from nature that brings enlightenment and kindness. There are so many frangipani trees in our neighborhood here in Bandung.

Every morning, very early, when the air is still fresh, we make a walk, and I love to collect the fallen flowers.

There are some things, that just smell so good: coffee, jasmin, orange blossoms, and frangipani flowers.

This painting is a lovely memory of my love for Java and frangipani flowers.

Looking at a picture, allowing yourself to be absorbed, is quite similar to reading. Immersing into a story, diving in.

I love to get lost in reading books and I painted this artwork to remind myself to read more.

I drew this portrait during one of my travels to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco as an homage to a young women I met in a small village. Her bright look and eyes filled my heart with joy.

I painted this gingko in a vibrant orange, a color that bursts with positive energy and happiness. The color psychology of orange is optimistic and uplifting, inspiring creativity and rejuvenating our spirit.

I love the gingko tree in front of much house so much. In Japan the ginkgo’s fan-shaped leaf has caried symbolism along with its singular beauty: A symbol of growth, protection, peace, strength and hope, a symbol of longevity and a symbol of love.

Love to paint landscapes and flowers ‘en plein air’, outdoors. The sun is going, clouds are moving, animals are flying around… Love the process of observing, listening, the brush strokes, and mixing the colors.

Painting landscapes is a beautiful thing for your eye to travel through. It’s more then just painting the scene, I really want to feel it through painting.

When I paint, I feel it and I get into it.

Landscape and flower paintings are bringing the peace of nature into our homes and calm our souls, and inspire you to live a life connected with nature.

I love watching the sunrise over the mountains. The sky coloured in all shades of pink before the sun starts to show. The mountains glowing and looking so magical.

Live for the tiny little things in life. Life is a series of thousands of tiny little miracles. Live for sunrises and sunsets. The sound of the ocean, the smell of the rain and starry nights. Live for the small words of praise, a smile. The tiny things like a good cup of coffee or a fresh smelling flower, a handwritten love note or the smile of a stranger. Live for the tiny things in life, because they will make you realize that this is what life is about. Let’s dance in the sunlight, wearing wildflowers in our hair. Live for the tiny little things.

I painted this painting on an early morning in Marrakesh at a little square, so her name is “Belle Matinée”. 

Early morning in the city. Marrakesh is waking up, sun is softly rising, the leaves of the palm trees are softly stirring. Soaking up the sounds and smells. The vegetable vendors, the donkey cards, bicycles and trucks that pass by. Soft pink morning light, so softly gleams. Beautiful morning.

To me, sunsets are painted by loved ones. I’m often thinking about my sister, because when you loose someone you love, it’s the sunsets  which makes you thinks about them. Sunsets too have met an end. The sun sets each day, a constant motion. Each day, the sunset portrays an ending and the chance to start new fills every following morning. I love sunsets, most of the time I just enjoy watching a variety of colors fill the sky. Sunsets allow me to stop and enjoy the little things in life. It sparks inspiration and mystery, creating innovative minds, noticing beautiful natural things.

My art has some whimsy, some wonder, and a whole lot of romance for the beauty of this life.

Dancing in the sea of flowers. The untamed beauty. Flowers everywhere in my hands and my hair. Softly breezes sways across the meadows. Dancing wildflowers here and there.

I love the ocean.

Gazing toward the horizon,

I feel freedom,

possibility,

the future opening.

I look to where the light comes from,

where beginnings live.

The ocean lifts me,

fills me with quiet strength,

turns my thoughts toward hope.

Free from fear.

As free as the ocean.

She calms my soul.
